The designer ruled on when the Thug roll happens, and it matches the rulebook.

With the optional rule, roll the Black die on entering to place 1 to 3 Thugs; their number is the Threat level. Only if you voluntarily forfeit and return do you roll the Black die once per Threat level. If any roll is at or below the Threat level you meet them: a single combat against that many Thugs armed with Knives. Reaching the exit or being forced out by a card triggers no Thug roll.
